The Taurus SHo has probably one of the best built American 6 banger motors that also can be boosted to move...
The SHO has a YAMAHA developed engine, first a V6, then a V8.

Lol Jibby, don't ever mess with a Skyline, it will eat you for breakfast, damn nice cars, would you argue with this?

I really hope you are joking, the SHO doent even come close to comparing to a GTR maybe close to one of the lesser model 4 door skylines.
the GN stock for stock would pull on a GTR in a straight line race and i guess modded would always give the GTR a run. but i wouldnt even dream about taking a GN around a corner at anything more then normal traffic speeds. the GTR on the other hand is a very refined car although a whole lot of computers help keep it stable.
american car makers still havent figured out that turning is kinda a reqired thing for a car to do at some point in its life.

AGREE 1000% Keep in mind the Nissan GTR came out mid 80's... The Supra a more modern shape...Go back to earlier Supra and the GTR stands supreme... The group A cars couldn't catch it.. Even though the authorities did a Phar Lap on it....Std a GTR runs the 1/4 in low 12's....I really hope you are joking, the SHO doesnt even come close to comparing to a GTR maybe close to one of the lesser model 4 door skylines.

The Supra is a nice car but no match for a Skyline GTR...
Each model GTR has set the production car lap record on the Nurburgring and I think the R34 still has it.
Check out this video of a street registered R34GTR on road tyres (17 mins of it) and watch the speedo, it is in miles per hour!!!

No need to be sorry Jibby just be aware that 90% of the stuff in the world worth seeing isn't in the US![]()
Justen that is a harsh statement that isn't realistic in my humble opinion. However, you are entitled to your opinion on these forums......
I can safetly say, American made motors produce the most power from Drag racing to track racing on the whole for the last 5 decades.. I don't see too many Japaness big blocks motors keeping up with the Big block made American motors. The American made Chevy small block LSx motors etc... kick arse as well.. . Although the new 7.4 liter LS Chevy Corvette motor I don't think is a small block motor....
We Americans can still make some decent stuff once in a while... Ever heard of the GT500 Fords, Chevy Corvette's, Dodge Vipers, etc...? Outside of the car stuff, we have decent clothing lines, good foods, nice looking women, good places to visit that really are worth seeing... Ever heard of the Grand Canyon? Alaska and Florida are nice to see too.. I can go on and on...
Now if you would have said 90% of the stuff being made out of China is not worth seeing I may have to agree with you on that....
Justen it sounds to me like you have not broadened your horizons outside of the Japaness motor industry... Big mistake my freind as a few of those above mentioned American cars and motors I just mentioned with some mod's would blow the doors off some mod'd Supra's and these skylines aswell.... Have you ever seen a twin turbo'd Corvette roar down the track and blow away the competition? It sounds like a jet and moves almost as fast as one too... I have seen a couple and they don't get worked over in races very often on the track, strip and or streets to import cars and exotics as well......
Steve and James - The Skyline motors however do sound amazing....I need to read up on them...Nissan hmmmmm......
Um some 2J's are running in low 7's at our strip [world wide possibly lower?]and they are only 3 ltr...making over 1500 h.p....
Not easy to compare .. In drag racing the rules keep most EFI or ECU controlled motors out....Broaden your horizon, there are some quick 200b's out there too... The GTR makes an everage driver a very good one...
